Me Too

Youngsters!  I've got a few years on both of you.  More time to become a cranky old man.

And as far as Rich's post, I think he has every  right to ask what is included in a rebuild.  You would expect a professional who advertises as a rebuilder to check, clean and repair or replace any part that is needed  and make sure all the adjustments are set to factory specs. If there is a problem the owner should be contacted to let him know.  Such as the core is too far gone to save., Then options can be discussed.  And if I call or write a supplier or jobber and don't get a timely reply I reassess whether I want to have any dealing with them.

 Re: that last sentence.  I don't reassess, I just don't deal with them.  My thought is this:  If they are reluctant to engage in a dialog before they have my money, just how difficult will they be afterward?

I would never pay for a mail order carb rebuild with cash "preferred"...

Rose also states checks accepted.

Using a credit card or PP etc. you have some protection if the rebuild has problems and does not work correctly.

Cash or check you lose.

I think Rose has had too many come backs.

Then again, maybe Rose just prefers that Paypal or the credit card companies not take three percent of his earnings.

I would not use paypal to receive payment regardless.  I do use it to make payment to the sellers taht will only take paypal and I pay paypal with my USAA credit card.  So if paypal gets stupid USAA will be there for me.

on using cash vs credit card payment.  When I make a large purchase and have the choise to use credit card and or cash/check I present the seller with the twooptions.  If they are smart they catch what I am doing.  If I use CC they lose 2-3% more off the top of the sale, but if they accept my check or cash then I ask for a discount on the purchase price.  Some get the concept that even if they give me 1% off the sale price they are still ahead of the game by not losing the eitre 2-3% to the bank and cc company.

 

If I have to explain it then I go to the store manager to explain the process and most of the time the get the concept and provide the discount. I win and they win. If not then I whip out the old credit card and use that. Sometime the stores build in the extra 2-3 cc fees not sure but you have to always play the odds in your favor.
